Why Live in South Shore

South Shore, a historic neighborhood in Chicago, is situated along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Known for its vibrant murals and cultural significance, the area is undergoing revitalization, particularly around the 71st Street corridor, thanks to the INVEST South/West commercial improvement plan. The neighborhood is highly walkable, with easy access to the beach, local library, and schools. South Shore features a mix of commercial properties and apartment buildings, with about 77% of residents renting their homes. Housing styles include historic bungalows, Prairie, and Tudor revivals, with most single-family homes on small lots. Dining options are diverse, from Louisiana-style seafood at Surf's Up to plant-based dishes at Majani Soulful Vegan Cuisine. Entertainment venues like the ETA Creative Arts Foundation and the Quarry Event Center offer plays, concerts, and open mic nights.
